Default Is there a pickup like the one in Cole Clark guitars

I want to add a pickup to my guitar and I was looking around when I head someone playing a Cole Clark guitar plugged in. It sounded great. I know the probable best way to achieve that sound may be to buy a Cole Clark guitar, but adding a pickup to my guitar is more economical.

According to the Cole Clark website:

"Cole Clark uses the same philosophy with a piezo system for the bottom end, a patented face sensor system for the mid range and a microphone for the top end".

Does anyone know of a pickup that operates similarly?

The Cole Clark system is pretty unique. The closest thing is probably the K&K Trinity PowerMix:

That's going to be difficult. Cole Clark uses a similar pickup to the Takamine palathetic system. Basically, the main part of the pickup is built into the bridge/saddle. It's a piezo but it has six elements for each string. I believe Cole Clark then adds a mic and body sensor to add more dynamics.

Achieving that tone will be hard but I would suggest the Barbera soloist paired with a microphone. The Barbera will give you a tone close to the piezo bridge/saddle set up in the cole clark with the mic adding some highs and air.
